Signs of Emotional Abuse

Kelly Clarkson - Because of you - Live

I was 6 when it began... I know my age, because I know how I looked, that I was starting school...it lasted for 3 years... I guess he started to worry that I might KNOW it's wrong and tell someone.....The abuse altered the innocent, childhood journey that ALL children should have. When no one was hurting me anymore, I found ways to hurt myself...BUT, I could never hurt myself as much as I hurt inside... So, I chose boys and men to hurt me as much as I hurt... THEY, were very good at it (someone taught them well). I felt "alive" yet dead with them... the boys or men were the "bad boys" or the "sexy" ones... Being abused by them hurt so that was "love" right? Because when I was 6, I learned that, someone taught me well, love and pain go together. He "owned" me, that made me so happy because that meant I was worth "owning"... but being "owned" came with a HUGE price..... that price ended up costing me my spirit, soul, and worse yet, it altered my own innocent children's path....

An excerpt from "No Longer Silent"

A Poem For A Friend

This didn't turn out to be about what I thought it was... I found myself feel "God" in some of it, my "ex-abuser" in some of it.... In any event, I

remained "open minded" and watched it... and I'm glad I did! ♥

How great it is to be free....to be "ALIVE" ......

End Domestic Violence

East to West by Casting Crowns

I pray for anyone who abuses another. I pray you seek forgiveness from God and yourself, I pray you seek help for the pain, fear, shame (anger) you feel so that you never need to give it to another....

SET ME FREE with lyrics

This is how I USED TO FEEL....Maybe you can relate? God guided me, but ultimately, I found the strength to call the police, to send my abuser the "right message", thereby freeing myself from the chains (pain) that bound me.....
